Chapter 278 The Great Injustice(1/2)
"I missed the last chance!"
Duke Daniel couldn't help but sigh after being rejected by his allies.
The probability of success between the several companies is not high. Without the help of allies, it is not necessary to even try with the power of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.
Before he could continue to feel sad, the urgent news sounded from the camp pulled Duke Daniel back.
"Duke, something is wrong. The enemy's aid...reinforcements are coming..."
Listening to the scouts finishing their words panting, Daniel's already cold face became even colder.
No need to think about that much now.
The 250,000 army of the Human Alliance and the 200,000 army of the Duchy of Moxi have arrived at Zijing Pass. It is almost impossible to tear the enemy's defense line.
Even if he had the opportunity to bypass the line of defense, he would not dare to implement it. The generals could take risks, but they could not take the army out to die.
Not only was the plan broken, but they didn't even have much time left to chase and kill the Northern Expedition Army. At most two days, the real elites of the human race would appear on the battlefield.
Velociraptors of the Kingdom of Ilibya, Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Kingdom of Frank, Earth Dragons of the Holy See, and Hesse...
One by one, the extraordinary military branches that are famous on the continent will appear on the battlefield.
The number one cavalry in the world is only targeting ordinary cavalry. If you encounter these giant beast legions, it is not enough to see.
The only thing that is thankful is that these extraordinary troops are limited in number, the cost of raising warcraft is high, and the most productive human race cannot be equipped on a large scale.
In fact, the Alpha Kingdom once had extraordinary troops, but under the continuous suppression of the Orc Empire, it finally came to destruction.
All the kings of Al France wanted to rebuild extraordinary troops, but unfortunately due to their own financial resources, they had no choice but to give up.
This is impossible. Since the establishment of the Kingdom of Alpha, it has faced the threat of orcs, and the treasury has never been rich.
After finally accumulating some money, I didn’t have time to do anything, the orc army came to the door again.
The troubles over and over again made the Alpha Kingdom either on the way to repay debts or on the way to borrow money, and there was no spare energy to develop extraordinary troops.
However, the small number is relatively small. When the extraordinary troops of many large human forces gather together, the scale effect occurs.
The Orc Empire also has extraordinary troops, but that was at its peak. When they were driven from the center of the mainland to the border, the extraordinary troops in their hands were also seriously injured.
What has been preserved is only a little seed. Due to their own financial and material resources, they can no longer participate in this luxury game.
The cavalry advantage is gone, and the air force advantage cannot be preserved. The flying dragon cavalry, the winged dragon cavalry... one familiar name makes Duke Daniel frown.
"Send the order and let the Eagleman keep an eye on the movements of Zijing Pass at all times. Once the enemy leaves the city, come and report immediately.
Notify all troops to speed up the pursuit of the enemy. By the way, let them gather their troops, and all military operations below the regiment will be cancelled, and the troops will move as close to the central army as possible."
This is a contradictory order. It is obvious that it is difficult to force the "wolf" to be strong.
But there is no way, the best fighter has been missed. Keep staying here, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed.
If he had divided his troops, he might have thought of concentrating his superior forces and eating up this human reinforcements, but unfortunately the situation is obviously the opposite now.
Just some of the cavalry left by various tribes, if they want to eat the reinforcements of the Alpha Kingdom, they must join forces, not to mention that the enemy has added another 450,000 reinforcements.
With more reinforcements from the Human Alliance, I guess the Alpha Kingdom infantry Legion that guarded the city would dare to leave the city at this time.
After all of them are added together, the total force can exceed one million, and its overall strength is definitely no less than that of the previous Northern Expedition Army.
If the Northern Expedition Army was not in a hurry to break through and the two teams joined forces to attack each other, I am afraid the Orc Empire would have been defeated.
After being secretly grateful, Daniel's expression became solemn again. Reason told him that the hidden dangers in China must be solved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if you let the tribe and the rebels collude together and give them a cooperation between inside and outside, you will really be over.
Provoking discord and divisive, are the common methods of human race. Under the conspiracy of human race, there are not only one or two major forces that have split.
For example: the elves.
Before the rise of the human race, although there were races, everyone gathered under the Elf Queen.
However, with the rise of the human race, the originally harmonious elves' internal conflicts were quickly aroused.
Forest elves, grassland elves, night elves... all became independent, and eventually formed a pattern of coherence between the three elves kingdoms.
Of course, the elves are making trouble, but they usually enjoy their mouths. When they meet, they are far less bloody than fighting in the Orc Empire.
Even the elves with full centripetal force can be divided, not to mention the orc empire. A pure sieve that leaks air everywhere will collapse if you are not careful.
If it weren't for this, the five major royal families would not have often used the war of invasion of the south to carry out racial purges within.
All races except the five royal families have limited their strength to an extremely low level, and they usually have no capital to make trouble. This is the core reason why the Orc Empire can always maintain.
...
The sunshine, the grassland, and the lake water are rippling. On this beautiful land, the two armies finally completed the victory of the meeting.
Looking at a group of old acquaintances coming towards him, Hudson burst into enthusiasm.
It’s not that he wants to gloat, but that he can’t help seeing his competitors in such a mess.
"My fellow villagers are crying when they meet their fellow villagers."
From the wet eyes of everyone, Hudson understood the homesickness. The real homesickness is, the worry is what to do after returning home.
When we set out from the southeastern province, we gathered more than 100,000 troops. When we finished the meeting, there were only the last one thousand people left, which was really miserable.
To be precise, there should be more than 3,000 people left. Along the way, Hudson gradually gathered many defeated soldiers from the aristocratic coalition forces in the southeastern provinces.
If this situation continues, I guess I can pick up thousands of people to go back later. The classic negative textbook for life-and-death.
If there were no previous judgment errors and the meeting with Hudson two days in advance, the total strength of the aristocratic coalition in the Southeast Province might have exceeded 10,000.
The first thing to be eliminated on the battlefield was the serf soldiers with poor physical strength and insufficient training. Those who could persevere until the end were the elites of each family. It was heartbreaking to lose, let alone so many of them were lost at once.
"Governor General, you have been running all the way and I think you have never had a good rest.
The barracks have been prepared in the army, and all the applications are in the tent. Let’s go wash and rest first!”
Hudson said with a smile.
This is not a ridicule. It can be seen from the dark circles of everyone that they have suffered a lot in recent days.
Now it’s safe, it’s a must to have a good sleep. The caring Hudson naturally won’t arrange any welcome banquets that are awesome.
In fact, no matter which aristocratic coalition he was in charge of, he had never arranged a banquet.
The main reason is that the business at hand is too busy and there is no time to build relationships, let alone hold a banquet.
If you meet a big nobleman, you may not even meet Hudson if you meet a small and medium-sized nobleman.
There is no way. Now there is nothing missing in the army, but there is no lack of nobles.
There are a lot of dukes, marquisses, and even two princes of the royal family in the military camp.
In fact, this kind of royal prince is famous and is actually not valuable. In terms of real power in his hands, he is not as good as a real-time earl.
Their appearance in the army has greater political significance than military significance. It has a considerable stimulation to ordinary soldiers, but it is just that in the eyes of the great nobles.
The high title is just a noble status. The one who can truly represent the royal family to hold real power is Marshal Campbell, who died in battle before.
If no accidents occur, Marshal Campbell will most likely be posthumously named as Grand Duke or Prince by Caesar III.
Frankly speaking, Hudson truly admired Caesar III. At the beginning of his succession, he was almost defeated by the great nobles in the country, but he was still reversed.
The prime minister is a member of the royal family, the minister of military affairs is a member of the royal family, and with the dead head of the army, Marshal Campbell, the royal family alone accounts for one-third of the core members of the kingdom.
It is a perfect iron triangle that controls these three core positions, and the court is basically under the control of the king.
Hudson vaguely felt that he had gone too far. For the superiors, loyalty is more important than ability.
I am not a confidant and direct descendant, and I want to find the position of the number one in the army, aren’t I deliberately trying to get a shot?
Fortunately, this place was not an oriental monarch, otherwise his military commander who was taboo would have a chance of "dead rabbit and cooked dogs".
Even if you know, you still can’t give up the benefits you should get. At worst, you can resign and return to your fiefdom as soon as the war is over, and you won’t stay in the capital and be disgusted.
This is also the routine operation of the great nobles. If they are not favored by the king, they will simply die and never interact with each other. Within the rules of the game, as long as they do not make trouble, there will be no failure.
The five major families in the Northland are the best examples. I guess Caesar III wanted to get rid of them quickly, and the final result was only political suppression.
Relatively speaking, their families are still passive and need the support of the kingdom to protect their own territory. They must incorporate domestic political activities.
Southern lords like Hudson have very low dependence on the kingdom and can completely avoid the trouble of the central government.
Deep down, Hudson felt relieved after making the decision not to enter the development of the central government.
...
"Earl Hudson, long time no see!"
With a simple greeting, Hudson saw the unnatural Viscount Oran. After more than a year, the status of both sides had changed. It was estimated that normal people would be unnatural.
It would be fine if it was just an honorary title, but with the energy of the Holliser family, there was no shortage of a Void Master. Even Caesar III had been canonized, but he was rejected by Viscount Oran.
Everything comes from unspoken rules.
Pierce, the boss of the Southeast Province, is the title of Earl. If the people below dare to surpass it, would they still want to get involved in the Southeast Province?
Taking over the title of Earl is equivalent to announcing to the public: he will be on par with Earl Pierce and no longer mingle with the Dalton family.
Without enough benefits, no one will offend the boss on his head to death for a false reputation.
To be continued...
